The Uses of Diethyl squarate

Diethyl squarate is an intermediate for pharma products, for photochemicals used in the dry-view process, in synthesis of photosensitive squaraine dyes (eg. laser dyes used in CD-Rom) and as intermediate for functional polymers.

The Uses of Diethyl squarate

3,4-Dethoxy-3-cyclobutene-1,2-dione is used as a starting material for synthesis of furanones and quinones. It undergoes ethoxy substitution with amines and unsaturated organosilanes.

General Description

The reaction of 3,4-diethoxy-3-cyclobutene-1,2-dione (squaric acid diethyl ester) with glycosylamines (formed by reducing oligosaccharides) was studied. The derivatives formed were linked to amino-functionalized lipids, solids or proteins.
